S&P Chart Sees 200-Day Moving Average Alert

Thinkstock
After PPI and retail sales showed no major pressure, stocks are trying to find their footing after selling off considerably since the election. We are looking at the charts for guidance, particularly the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSEMKT: SPY) as the most liquid and large of ETFs covering the broad markets.

For Wednesday’s chart analysis, Phil Erlanger said,

Tuesday saw the SPY open at the low for the day and rebounded to move above support at $137.88 when we penned. Then we rallied to above resistance before a complete failure of the move to finish below support. Currently, SPY is attempting to clear pivot at $138.13 but has yet to do that. Another day of trading pivot to support ahead or worse a break again of support? Pay attention to the value lines today as there is a 1:30 p.m. EST President Obama Press Conference and FOMC Minutes due out at 2:00 p.m. EST.

There is one major issue that is coming up as well today on the chart. The SPYDERS are at $137.45 on last look and the 200-day moving average is at $137.32 as of today.

The Erlanger Value Lines can be accessed via Erlanger Chart Room.

Is Your Money Earning the Best Possible Rate? (Sponsor)

Let’s face it: If your money is just sitting in a checking account, you’re losing value every single day. With most checking accounts offering little to no interest, the cash you worked so hard to save is gradually being eroded by inflation.

However, by moving that money into a high-yield savings account, you can put your cash to work, growing steadily with little to no effort on your part. In just a few clicks, you can set up a high-yield savings account and start earning interest immediately.

There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
